Samrat Beauty Parlour

Our shop is tucked away at Shop No 184 in the building at Rajarhat Tegoria Road. It is quite easy to spot if you are looking for the Health And Vision Clinic because we are right near it. Kolkata gets very busy and noisy, but inside here things are a bit quieter. I spend most of my day dealing with hair and threading. The space is not very large, but we have managed to fit everything we need into this corner of the building. We see a lot of local women who live in the apartments around here. They stop by for a quick eyebrow trim or to get their hair done before a family function. The walls are painted a plain color and we have a few mirrors lined up. I have worked here for a long time and I know almost everyone who walks through the door by name. Sometimes the tea stall guy brings over a cup in the afternoon when things slow down. We do not use any big machines or fancy gadgets, just our hands and the usual tools. The street outside is always crowded with rickshaws and people heading towards the main market area. It feels good to have a steady place to work in such a lively part of the city. We keep the door open to let some air in when it is not too dusty. It is just a regular local parlour for the neighborhood ladies. We are open most days.
